Stage one of the clean up is complete

... the big pot has been sitting in the molasses barrel for a bit over 48 hours .....got stuck into it this arvo with wire brush and the garden hose....a lot more rust came off than I expected. Found a bit of pitting in the bottom but nothing bad......also found Carron 20 inch written inside the lid.....very hard to make out but it is there.

A classic in anybody's language, SBB.
That pitting on the base could be casting bubbles ?
I wouldn't hazard a guess as to its age but it is in good nick.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

That's come up good Rory
I particularly like the high domed lid.
Great for a large roast.
How tall is it from base to center of lid?

Ok here are the last few photos.....the job is done

It was a bit of a handfull trying to season this thing but finally got it done. Its probably still not seasoned as well as I would like but that will improve with use.
Once it was seasoned I couldnt wait to try it out so headed to the Butcher and bought a mixed bag to try to at least partly fill it.
one large leg of lamb, one small rolled pork, three shanks, two large pork spare ribs. Also added 8 spuds in foil. Still lots of room left Shocked
